Naruto opened his eyes to find himself back inside his mindscape, under Kirabi's instruction he was coming here to try and get the Kyuubi to cooperate. It had been a long time since he had last entered his mind; in fact he had not been here since he had learned the Kuchiyose No Jutsu during the Chunin Selection Exams. He was pleasantly surprised to see the place looked a little better then the last time he was here, while it was still a sewer the walls that were once chipped and cracked were now more pristine. The water that had once been knee deep on the floor was gone, the place looked much better; though it was still a sewer. Following the red pipe Naruto once again came upon the sight of a large cage, in the middle of the cage was a single piece of paper with the kanji for seal.
As Naruto walked up to the bars two large blood red eyes with black slits running down the middle opened up, "It's been a long time since you've come here boy." The creature revealed itself as it walked up to the cage; it was a giant fox, with nine red tails swishing around behind it.
"Kyuubi," Naruto said as he starred at the fox with an impassive face.
The fox gave him a massive grin filled with malice, "What's this? No hello how are you? I must admit to feeling a little hurt."
"Cut the crap," Naruto said with a scowl, "you know why I'm here."
"You wish to use my chakra," the fox said as it looked at him, "However, I don't really feel like giving it to you." Kyuubi gave Naruto another grin,"Tell me little Ningen, why should I the greatest of the Bijuu give you my chakra?"
Naruto forced himself to remain calm; he knew Kyuubi's game and getting angry at the fox would only be playing into its hands. "You know why you should lend me your chakra, we both know that if I die you die," Naruto gave the fox a small grin. "Whether we like it or not we need each other to survive, right now there are nine S class criminals after your power. If they capture me they will suck you out and seal you into a statue for whatever their purpose is, is that something you want?"
Kyuubi gave a hum of thought, "well I don't quite like the idea of being sealed into a statue…" it looked at Naruto, "and I must admit you have gotten… stronger."
"What's this?" Naruto asked with mock sarcasm, "did I just here respect in the great Kyuubi No Kitsune's voice?"
"Don't patronize me Human!" Kyuubi roared at Naruto causing the blonds' hair to fly out of his face. "I am the Kyuubi No Kitsune, the most powerful of the Bijuu; a mere mortal like you is nothing more than an ant to me!"
Naruto held up his hands in a pacifying gesture, "Easy there fuzzy I was just surprised that's all." Kyuubi glared at him for the fuzzy comment but seemed to let it slide for now, "so how about it? You gonna work with me?"
"Very well," Kyuubi grumbled, "But do not think that this means I in any way like you. The only reason I am doing this is because I would rather not be sealed in a statue."
"The feelings mutual Kyuubi," Naruto said as he disappeared.
Kyuubi stared at the spot where Naruto had been for awhile before grumbling as it laid down deciding to get more shut eye.
XXXXXXXXXXXX
Outside the seal Yugito and Killer Bee were watching Naruto carefully to make sure that Kyuubi didn't take over. They were currently at Bee's home in the valley of clouds and lightning, a place that was isolated enough that if Naruto went berserk they could subdue him without causing any casualties. As they watched Naruto red chakra began to pour out of his tenketsu points, while neither would admit it they had never felt such a vile chakra before even from their own Bijuu. The chakra began to take shape, giving Naruto a pair of fox ears as what Killer Bee called the Bijuu shroud appeared. A tail soon began to form behind Naruto, as it did his features became more demonic; with his nails lengthening into claws, his whiskers marks got thicker and his eyelids became black making it look like he was wearing eyeliner. A few minutes after that a second tail began to form as Naruto grit his teeth, after awhile when it seemed no more tails would form Naruto opened his eyes revealing blood red pupils with black slits running down the middle.
Killer Bee nodded, "so two tails is your max little man, let's have you fight Yugito and see where you stand."
Yugito's eye twitched at the bad rap but she ignored it as she walked over to the opposite side of Naruto, stopping a few feet away she looked at the blond shinobi. "Are you ready?" she asked as she got into her own stance. She began channeling Nibi's chakra forming a shroud much more quickly than Naruto did and moving to up to two tails.
Naruto nodded, "as ready as I'll ever be," he said in a guttural and more demonic sounding voice.
"Remember you have to maintain your tails, otherwise this exercise fails, yo!"
"Shut up Kirabi!"
Killer Bee sighed at the fact that Yugito never seemed to appreciate his rapping, getting over it he held his hand out and made a cutting motion. "Start the fight Yo, let's see a show!"
Naruto and Yugito ran at each other and clashed with a resounding boom.
